YouSendIt White Paper Sample

The preceding sections of this paper have enumerated the problems with transferring files and how existing technologies such as email attachments to transfer files place a burden on the IT infrastructure both in terms of resources and administrative cost. In addition, these solutions don’t provide companies with the security and accountability that is essential at a time when companies are conducting more and more of their business on the Internet. What is needed is a solution that allows companies to continue to transfer files as part of their daily business process by using a technology that provides an easy to use, secure, affordable managed solution such as the one developed by YouSendIt.

YouSendIt provides a file transfer solution that is accessed through a standard web browser or through plug-ins to standard desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, and so on. Users pick files to be transferred to a specific recipient or recipients— these files are then uploaded to YouSendIt servers in the background so that the user can continue working. The process is deceptively simple: behind the user interface is a purpose-built infrastructure to handles files of all sizes and transfer them securely and efficiently to their intended recipients.
